In our changing world, it is hard to find peace. But peace comes from within, from forgiveness, and God. These poems by Laura Fuller hold words for peace and forgiveness so your heart can move forward.
Are you searching for peace in the world? Have you looked high and low and don’t seem to get a grasp on it. You think one minute you may have found it, but your heart is still heavy? That may be because you can only find peace inside of you. The world will always be in turmoil but within your heart is where you can calm the storms.
Read these words for peace and forgiveness and reach deep inside of yourself. When you learn to forgive, you are doing it for yourself, not for the other person. You forgive so you will no longer dwell on a situation. You will find the storms of your life calm, just like the ocean waves die down to a ripple as the wind stops.

Imagination is an important part of our lives. It can take you to places far away, or it can calm the storm within you. As you read this poem, let your imagination calm you and help you escape the judgment of this world and, yes, the judgment you place on yourself.
Magical Ship Of Peace
Board the magical ship
to sail a summer night
no destination, no direction
Spread your wings
far above the bow
touch to guide you
Your eyes lifted
above the stars
Take flight
float the ocean air
dare to dream
of peace
of hope
of steady winds
Never to return
to torrential winds
left stranded in a world
where all are branded
Chaos Or Peace
By Laura Fuller
Our world today moves too fast. The internet has knowledge we never imagined possible. We can reach people on the other side of the world in seconds. But where is the peace? Once again, it is within you. Trying to control the world around you will not give you peace; it will only make it all more chaotic. Let go of the world and find the peace you crave within your soul.
Chaos Of Peace
In a world of chaos
the force moves faster
My mind is screaming
Peace oh, peace
where are you?
I need release
Tears of my heart
the churning of my soul
cries out for control
Excitement Of Life
By Laura Fuller
Have you felt your life is going nowhere? You can’t find the peace you strive for by finding more excitement? It is good to imagine, for it can take you far away. You can reset your mind with imagination. As you read this poem, think of the calm that comes with the flight. Yes, it can be exciting, but it will also help you find yourself and the peace within you.
The Excitement Of Life
I want to feel the
excitement
of life upon my face
I’ll dive in the sky
to touch the stars
Or skim the ocean waters
like velvet on my skin
I want to feel alive
at the break of dawn
With the rising moon
I’ll spread my wings
and take to flight
Forgiveness And Unconditional Love
By Laura Fuller
Even though we love our children from the time of conception, there will always be times we need to forgive them, and they forgive us. Forgiveness is the beginning of unconditional love. But we can only forgive them. We cannot make them forgive because forgiveness is for our soul alone. With our forgiveness, it will free us to find peace in our lives.
Forgiveness And Unconditional Love
You are my only son
for each one is
Unconditional love
a bridge connects our hearts
floods come
destruction in its path
and try to break the knot
Yet my soul connects to you
my blood was your blood
my beating heart kept you alive
your touch created our bond
Floods recede
bridges form
the unconditional link
of forgiveness
Raising A Child
By Laura Fuller
We love our children, but we will make mistakes in raising them. We can only forgive ourselves for what we did not know, for the mistakes we made, and find that peace, the unconditional love that we need.
Raising A child
A child we raise
we love and hold
not much we know
wrapped in our fold
to ease their burden
give all we never had
to lighten their load
and run free
to give them power
as they grow.
The rod we spared
becomes apparent
in the lack of respect
given freely
with thoughts running free.
The discipline we gave
did lack the hand
but not the love.
Move forward in mistakes
our fault our road to travel
to forgive ourselves
is the hardest of all.
Empty Barren Rose Of Sharon
By Laura Fuller
Forgiveness is a choice. But if you choose not to forgive, your soul will wither with the pain, and your house will remain cold as you grow old. Don’t allow that coldness to overtake the peace you can have.
Empty Barren Rose Of Sharon
Life,
resting in the dark
as bottles sitting about
not broken or cold
yet empty and old
All appears barren
yet a rose of Sharon
Dirt all around
house falling down
yet still a heart and soul
what to do with
a rose of Sharon
a heart and soul?
Lay idle, broken, and cold?
or find light
in the mercy of forgiveness?
Forgiveness
By Laura Fuller
You are worthy because God Loves You! God is merciful, full of love and full of peace.
Forgiveness
Look to the light
an angel shines
his name
forgiveness
Am I deserving
of such grace?
Oh Lord
have mercy on me.
God Are You There?
By Laura Fuller
Most of us will feel all alone and separated from God at some time in our lives. It isn’t because He is not there but because we are not there. Yet we search high and low trying to find him. We want him to give us peace and take care of us when all along, we are not accepting his care and peace.
God Are You There?
Oh God, my God
God are you there
my pain runs deep
sorrow and despair
eyes lifted to heaven
words I plead
Look,
to the left, to the right
I need, I need
to see your hand.
God are you there?
Aching heart
trodden feet
beauty replaced
age rolls on.
Look to the past
failing body
mind so sharp
I see your hand
in all my life.
Your touch so free
my tears you caught
you cried for me
God are you there?
Lingering In The Shadows
By Laura Fuller
You never know when someone is looking up to you. You probably don’t feel like you are an example but what you do affects others. Always do what you know is right, so you don’t lead a soul astray. Don’t let regret later in life steal your peace.
Lingering In The Shadows
Walk tall
Stand strong
A pillar of strength
A load-bearing beam
An example for the one
Lingering in the shadows
No Way Out
By Laura Fuller
When the valley is too deep and the way is too rough, we can always turn back to God for warmth, shelter, and peace.
No Way Out
With my eyes
I see
snow falling
treacherous beauty
a mark it leaves
no way out
no trail uncovered
With my heart
I feel a hand
a way forward
back to warmth
the shelter
and safety of God
Fear Of Light And Dark
By Laura Fuller
When life is good, we praise God, but when times are dark, we fear. God is our protector and giver of peace. He will take away our fear in good and dark times. He is our guiding light, and evil must flee at the name of the Son, Jesus.
Fear Of Light And Dark
Wake to the morning sun
a bright and shinning day
singing and praising
the blessings of that day
The moon above
asleep in the dark
shaking and shivering with fear
shadows of the night
God did speak!
Why do you fear
in the light of the moon
my hand does protect
light of the day
your heart does shine
for evil must flee
at the name of the Son
Search For Peace
By Laura Fuller
Where do you search for peace. Finding peace comes from within you. When learn to accept all that you are and who you are then all of you will meet in the middle where peace is found.
Search For Peace
In the middle I stand
forest to the left
sea to the right
mountains behind
meadows before.
Can I?
Navigate dense trees?
Swim the deepest waters?
Climb snow-covered peaks?
Feel sunshine in tall grass?
When my life touches the four corners
Only then can I know
Profound beauty
Complex glory
and Peace within
Find what you need in these words for peace. Look to the light of God for the forgiveness that he can put in your heart.
